Will This Work? Or Am I Wasting My Time...

Okay I have a good size pool one of the plastic ones but it's not one of the small kiddy pool it is a huge plastic pool.

well any ways I brought it up on the deck and cleaned it out and scrubed it down filled it up. might I add I have perfect water to start fish in. All the reading are fine.
The only air I have in there is 2 bubble rings that I had left over from my other tanks.

Now would it work and stay clean if I clean the bottom of the pool every week with a siphon and fill it back up just like I do my other tanks.

or will i just not be able to keep up with it cause the sun will bring alot of alge

let me now what you think

i was gonna do this at one point.

you need a big pump to dilute the waste, and yes, algae is a problem in shallow pools. there are remedies for it though like algae eaters, chemicals etc

it CAN work. but you need to do research .

Floating plants will help reduce algae in ponds. The biggest problem you will have is the sunlight damaging the plastic. Most plastics are biodegradable and break down after a couple of years in the sun. One day the pool will be full of water, the next day it will have split and everything will be on the lawn.

if it's the kind of pool im thinking of they should be ok. Mine is UV resistant.
